Anyone here smart enough to use the street markings and time to estimate the officer's speed?

My mom has a 2002 Impala similar to what a lot of cops drive. I'm not sure if that was the car but my mom's Impala can stop fast as shit. When I used it a few weeks ago to drive to Savannah (her car 24mpg, my 1500 14 or so) I had a deer jump out in front of me similar to that woman and I jacked those brakes hard as hell. Holy shitballs did that thing stop fast as hell. I was rolling about 75-80mph.

I don't really get what happend. Was that woman a cop? Why was she in the road? If that was an accident scene or where the cop should be going and why did he blow through it fast?

When I stopped the video it did look like she was wearing a uniform to me. It also looked like the car that hit her was no longer on the main road, but I couldn't tell if it was a sideroad, construction access, or something else.
